Buffett has a huge investment in apple. The tech comment is outdated

The issue is that you can't compare apples to apples. One company charges more built into the price, another company hides some fees you only see at checkout and can't avoid. It's not adding value and it's not improved b

I have to think that if you want this level of insight and control over your system, you're going to be less frustrated by not using MacOS at all and switching to Linux or a BSD. Macs are appliances, like a fridge. When your fridge bre

Getting better diagnostics from secretly running a type checker as a "linter" is not the same as writing a program in a language you know is typed and which you design the types first before constructing the program. I'm sorr

So blinding is pretty much impossible for something like typing. The programmer can't be ignorant to whether the language is typed, it's central aspect of using the language. The reason blinding works so well in medicine is becaus

It seems like the biggest hurdles to LLMs currently are lack of imagination and lack of a habit of using them. It will take a while for memes of how to use LLMs effectively are widely spread, and then another while for people to see everyon

Diamonds are a lot like luxury clothing lines. What makes a Louis Vuitton bag genuine? It's all a mental category, there's no physical property test that can classify Louis Vuitton atoms from counterfeit atoms. Diamonds have the u

Nx came from the angular ecosystem, where "ng" is short for "angular". So there's no relation to nix, it's just coincidence (I use Nx at work and nix at home, and both are great in their respective domains.)

Personally, I feel like the Karen joke is kinda played out. We've all seen that kind of person, but people do actually have that name and using it is bad for the same reasons stereotyping is bad in general.

I wonder if the missing middle comes from plywood / mdf just being more predictable than wooden boards so it's easier to automate / optimize manufacturing on. So one step up from that becomes "real wood" and suddenl

I don't think it can be dismissed that easily. You could imagine that most of the benefit from being trained on programming languages comes from learning any language at all, but a 15% gain from one language to another is pretty surpri

This seems like a really good way to make it so you have a hard time typing on anyone's computer but your own.

I think code is less important to read than the design of interfaces / APIs. I've basically never been blown away by someone's function definitions or whatever, but I regularly run into well designed APIs. Maybe it's bec

Learn Haskell, it's the most elegant, and if you're using it for LeetCode / project euler you can have the experience of polishing a simple elegant program until it shines. It's a very satisfying experience. Also, Haskel

Haskell's motto is "avoid success at all costs", and part of this is making these kinds of backwards incompatible changes to clean things up.

Honestly, sqlalchemy is such a different breed of ORM, whenever people slander ORMs, I'm imagining they're thinking of like Django ORM or ActiveRecord which are like the duplos to SQLalchemy's Legos.
